Greenwich Events in April

April in Greenwich brings the start of spring traditions—Easter celebrations, outdoor events, art shows, and family activities across town. From egg hunts and cookie decorating to wildflower planting and the beloved Barn Tour, here are a few local events to mark on your calendar this month.

Local Reminder: Don’t forget to renew your Greenwich beach passes.

Beach and park passes are required for access to Greenwich Point, Byram Park, and Island Beach during the summer season, and renewing early helps avoid the long lines that pop up once warm weather arrives. Many residents renew in April before the busy Memorial Day rush. As of April 1, dogs are no longer allowed at Greenwich Parks, including the beaches.

Link to renew here.
